As I write to you, I am coming off of an incredible week of momentum. I’m in the middle of several projects and I am really excited. It takes a lot of work and diligence to pull off major projects. However, I love the process and I cannot wait to share what I have been working on with you. I hope that your first full week of the second quarter was productive. While you may not be able to go back and undo the last three months, you do have the power to change this moment in your life. Hopefully, you are making the most of this moment and maximizing the opportunities that are coming your way. Resilience will determine your results. Make a decision right now that the second quarter will be a quarter of results and revolution in your life!
Are you really trying when it comes to living the life of your dreams? Have you stopped trying and given up on your dreams? Do you have the courage to try again? I want to be very transparent with you for a moment. Not that long ago I hit a very rough time in my life. I was drained and I was tired. It seemed like nothing was moving and I was not seeing the results that I wanted to see. Honestly, I had lost my passion and the fire had gone out in my life. I took a step back from everything. People were calling, emailing and reaching out to me to find out what was going on. Anyone that knows me knows that I love pouring into other people. However, I had reached a point in my life where I just felt like I did not have anything else to give. During that time God sent a person my way that helped to create a new defining moment in my life. This person discussed with me an incredible opportunity but I was still skeptical. I have gone through so much in life and business and I was not sure if this was going to be any different. After much prayer and reflection, I finally agreed and the rest is history. This person helped me to refocus and reclaim the moments of my life. Why is this person so important? This person is important because this person inspired me to try again. I’m grateful that I did not give in to the fear and the fatigue because I am finally coming into the best days of my life. If I had allowed that moment to derail me I would have never been able to see the manifestation of the dreams that were in my heart. Today, I just want to speak to you from the heart. I don’t know what you are facing today. You may be in the fight of your life and facing great impossibility. Many of you reading this are frustrated and you may even feel like your life is one big failure. However, I want to encourage you to try again. If you will dare to try again you can transform every adversity into accomplishment. Pressure will lie to you if you allow it to. Pressure will always try to define what is possible for your life. When the pressure is turned up in your life you have to reset and realign with your purpose. Do not allow battles to knock the benefits out of you. You were made to live a good life. Never allow your trials to become larger than the treasure that God has placed on the inside of you. This is not the time for you to shrink back in fear. It is time for you to stand strong in faith. I have had to encourage myself many times on this journey. You will have moments where you feel like you have taken all you can take. The pressure may become so intense that you feel like you are going to break. Everything in your environment may be telling you to quit. However, success is always birthed out of a quality decision. Every day you must make the quality decision to dare to be inconvenienced so you can do the impossible. Effort will always trump excuses. After all, we are not rewarded in life for the excuses we make. You will only be rewarded for the energy that you are willing to exert in the direction of your dreams. Effort is the catalyst to effectiveness.
In closing, I just wanted to have a heart to heart with you today. I talk to so many people every day from all over the world. We all face different circumstances in our lives. However, my message will always be one of hope and empowerment. I want you to make a decision that you are never ever going to give up. I do not care what is resisting you. Make up your mind that you are not going to retreat. Take a moment and refocus but do not entertain any possibility of defeat. You were created a champion and you must never forget that. Maybe you are disappointed that you did not have the first quarter that you desired. Or maybe you have experienced a major loss or setback in your life. No matter what is opposing you never forget that you are an overcomer. It’s not over until you have the victory. Dare to try again!
